MY SAY:COLLEGE DIVERSITY HUNTING
Okay….I accept the notion that college classes should be diverse….so here is a fictitious essay. Do you think this young man would gain acceptance?
” I am a senior lad applying to your school. Let me tell you about myself. I am Venezuelan and a victim of the depredations and suppression of the “socialism” that so dazzles American youth. My greatest dream has already come to pass. I am a proud American citizen anxious to master the language, mores and principles of those great founding fathers that made America the crown Jewel of the world.
I am a religious catholic who attends church every Sunday and prays every night after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. These are the goals I pray for:
I hope to research, and find and develop products with a huge potential market. I hope that my company will grow and provide good wages and benefits to all employees- skilled in production, management and as well as to those less skilled who are the backbone of essential personnel. I hope that I will get married and have children and get rich.
I will distribute my putative wealth to those institutions that represent my politics, my values and my religion. I also want to contribute to the arts-classical music and ballet, museums, and to any academy that accepts me.
How much would you wager that this essay would be thrown into the dust bin in spite of the enticing the last last four words? rsk
